Reanne Evans makes history with Snooker Shoot Out victory over Stuart Bingham

Reanne Evans became the first female player to win a match in the Snooker Shoot Out tournament by beating Stuart Bingham on Thursday night.

Evans, a 12-time women's world champion and an icon of the sport, made the most of the one-frame format in Leicester to prevail 60-8. She'll now face world No 17 Gary Wilson in the second round on Friday night.
